Link or you stink!
You can’t make up your own history, even if you have no dog in the fight.
There were many factual causes of the war. No need to make any up.
The south had as much propaganda as the North. Did you know the South started a counterfeit currency campaign years before the war started? Why would they do this if they were going to peacefully seced from the Union?
The north was about keeping the Union and could care less about slavery until they realized it could be used as a tool to hurt the south. There were many pro Union people left stranded in the southern states to try and rescue. Meanwhile, most Southerners who had to fight were doing so to protect themselves and families, not for political reasons.
Northerners fought to keep our country United.
It doesn’t matter who fired first. It would of happened anyway.
I would like to see a link about your take of Charleston harbor. Never heard that one before. Northern suppression couldn’t hide eye witness accounts.

Didn't I already give you a link to the Star of the West incident? Are you wanting a link to the fact that Lincoln sent warships?

I'll have to look one up, but it will have to wait. I am going through the messages replying to them.

What part?
